Booker T. Huffman Jr, best known as Booker T., is a dotting father to his kids. Unfortunately, it was not always the same.

He has three kids to date —  two sons and a daughter. He shares his first son, Brandon, with his ex-girlfriend from high school. 

He has twins with his present wife, Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman, son Kendrick, and daughter Kennedy. Before welcoming the twins, the wrestler believed he would not be a good father.

This is because of the relationship he had with his firstborn.

Does Booker T have a son?

Booker T. has three children. He shares his first son, Brandon, with his ex-girlfriend from high school. 

The wrestler was 19 then, and his baby mama was 17. He started ignoring her, but still, she kept their son.

Regardless, he worked at Fiesta Mart to support their kid. He also began lifting steaks and did whatever he could to help his family. 

Unfortunately, it was not working in their favor. Booker T had a difficult childhood which eventually led him toward the life of a felon.

After pleading guilty to armed robberies at Wendy’s restaurants in Houston, he was imprisoned for nineteen months. He and his associates wore Wendy’s uniforms during the holdups since they had worked there for two and a half years.

Police assumed the robberies were inside jobs because of the shooters’ clothes and expertise in the operation of the fast food chain. It didn’t take long for Booker T. and three other men to be apprehended. 

In December 1987, he pled guilty to two charges of aggravated robbery and was sentenced to five years in prison. After 19 months, he was freed and placed on parole until April 1992. 

He found a job at American Mini Storage while finishing his parole and gaining custody of his son, Brandon, 6, who had been given to child protective services due to his mother’s inability to care for him.

Even though he had custody of his son, the two did not have a good bond. Booker T claimed that he did the best he could, but unfortunately, they ended up not speaking to each other. 

Brandon fell in trouble with the law, and the father-son duo eventually drifted apart.

Booker T.’s kids with his present wife

Booker T. has often talked about how he was not a good father to Brandon. He wrote in Crixeo how he thought he would not be a dotting dad to his future kids.

But after getting married to his present wife, Sharmell, he realized that she wanted children. So, he tried for her, and Sharmell got pregnant in 2008 and 2009. 

Unfortunately, both times, Sharmell miscarried. Booker T. wrote, “The experience of having and losing children brings you to a completely different place. You’re hurt, distraught and upset you lost something so precious before you ever really had a chance to embrace it.”

Fortunately, Sharmell got pregnant again in 2010 and welcomed their rainbow babies. Currently, Booker T. has two children with his second wife.

Sharmell gave birth to twins —  a son named Kendrick and a daughter named Kennedy —  in 2010. The wrestler welcomed his twins 25 years after he had Brandon. 

He wrote, “I thought about how I wasn’t there for my oldest son and how I had a second chance to make up for my past mistakes.” So, welcoming his children made him want to be a “real father.”

Currently, he takes care of his kids and loves them a lot. He often gushes about them and tries to be the best dad in the world for them.

Purple Hearts 2 Update 2026: Release Date Rumors and Sofia Carson News

Purple Hearts 2 Update 2026: Release Date Rumors and Sofia Carson News

It has now been over three years since Netflix released the record-breaking romantic film Purple Hearts, and the digital clamor for a sequel is louder than ever. Despite the film being a self-contained story based on Tess Wakefield’s novel, the chemistry between Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine has left fans unwilling to say goodbye to Cassie and Luke.

Is Purple Hearts 2 Confirmed for 2026?

As of January 2026, Netflix has not officially confirmed Purple Hearts 2.

Throughout 2024 and 2025, social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube were flooded with “First Look” trailers and release date announcements claiming a 2026 debut. However, these are largely fan-made “concept trailers” using footage from the actors’ other projects.

While Sofia Carson remains a staple at Netflix—recently starring in the rom-com The Life List (released March 2025)—the streaming giant has not moved the sequel into active production.

Why a Sequel is Still Uncertain

The likelihood of a sequel remains a subject of debate for several reasons:

  • The “Happily Ever After”: The original film concludes with Luke returning home and reuniting with Cassie, resolving the central conflict of their marriage of convenience.
  • Actor Availability: Nicholas Galitzine’s career has skyrocketed. In 2024 and 2025, he starred in high-profile projects like The Idea of You and Mary & George, and he is currently set to appear in The Sheep Detectives in May 2026.
  • Creative Integrity: Producer Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum and Sofia Carson have both stated they would only return if a script felt “just as special” as the first. In a March 2025 interview, Carson reiterated that she would “make the time for Cassie” only if the story were right.

Potential Plot for ‘Purple Hearts 2’

If a sequel were to happen, the narrative would likely shift from “convenience” to the “reality” of a military marriage. Potential plot points discussed by fans include:

  • Luke’s Post-Marine Life: Navigating life after being dishonorably discharged and finding a new career path.
  • Cassie’s Musical Fame: Dealing with the pressures of a rising music career while maintaining a long-term partnership.
  • Family Expansion: The challenges of starting a family while managing Cassie’s Type 1 diabetes and Luke’s recovery from past trauma.

Meet the ‘Purple Hearts’ Cast Members

The original ensemble remains the primary hope for a returning cast:

  • Sofia Carson (Cassie Salazar): Since Purple Hearts, Carson has solidified her status as a Netflix darling with Carry-On and The Life List.
  • Nicholas Galitzine (Luke Morrow): Now a global star, Galitzine’s return is the biggest question mark for a potential sequel.
  • Chosen Jacobs (Frankie): Although his character’s arc ended tragically, he could potentially appear in flashbacks or as a guiding memory for Luke.

Summary: Will It Ever Happen?

While there is no Purple Hearts 2 release date, the door is not officially closed. Netflix often revisits its most popular IPs years later (as seen with the To All The Boys spin-offs). For now, fans should treat any “leaked” 2026 trailers with caution and keep an eye on official Netflix channels for a real announcement.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Star in Robert Eggers’ Next Film ‘Werwulf’

WERWULF is currently in pre-production, with more casting and plot details expected to be revealed soon.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Star in Robert Eggers' Next Film ‘Werwulf’

After haunting audiences with Nosferatu, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is teaming up once again with director Robert Eggers. This time for a werewolf horror titled Werwulf. The film is already building buzz ahead of its Christmas Day 2026 release, and it may get even hotter with Nosferatu lead Lily-Rose Depp in talks to join the cast.

Eggers will direct from a script he co-wrote with Sjón, his collaborator on The Northman. With Focus Features backing the project, and Working Title producing, Werwulf looks to carry the eerie, mythic tone Eggers is known for — only now under the full moon.

Their last outing, Nosferatu, was a breakout hit, raking in $181 million worldwide and marking a massive return for stylized gothic horror. Taylor-Johnson played Friedrich Harding, a vampire skeptic, while Depp portrayed Ellen, the object of Count Orlok’s obsession.

With werewolves now in his sights, Eggers’ next nightmare seems poised to bite — and Taylor-Johnson is clearly ready to howl.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Roars Into Box Office Success

Published

on

Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the dinosaur saga, has stomped its way to box office glory. Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-written by Jurassic Park veteran David Koepp, the film premiered on June 17 in London and hit U.S. theaters on July 2. It has already grossed over $334 million globally against a reported budget of $180 million.

This fresh reboot stars Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in leading roles, supported by Jonathan Bailey, Ed Skrein, and Rupert Friend. The film shifts slightly from the earlier World trilogy tone, leaning into sci-fi thrills and a suspenseful, character-driven story.

Critics have been split. While some praise the visual effects and performances, others say it doesn’t quite recapture the awe of Spielberg’s original. Still, many fans agree that Rebirth is a major improvement over the previous film, Dominion, and a step in the right direction for the franchise.

With its strong performance, Universal is now reportedly developing spin-offs and planning to expand the Jurassic universe further. After ten films and over three decades of dino-dominance, it seems audiences still aren’t done with the thrill of prehistoric adventure.
